I read from Inquirer (October 26, 2009) that BlackBerry introduced its new smartphone — the BlackBerry Curve 8520. What interests me is that they released it at a cheaper price, way lower than the usual P35,000.00. Guess what? It’s P14,995! Let’s take a look at its features (visit their website for more info):
